Hotel in Grand Rapids, MI
 

We need to stay in Grand Rapids for a wedding weekend. We need easy access to the airport plus access to heading north to Big Rapids for the reception.<BR>Any hotel suggestions?

Michigan or Minnesota?

sorry, I didn't see the MI on the second line. I do know of a hotel about 3 miles away. It's called Country Inns and Suites, located off the interstate.

Try this addy. <BR><BR>http://www.visitgrandrapids.org/acc_hotels.shtml<BR><BR>All of the hotels with a (S.E.) southeast in the address line are<BR>within 10 minutes of the airport, with easy access to the interstate(1-96 to US 131) to head towards Big Rapids. Figure a 50-60 minute ride to Big Rapids from this part of town. <BR><BR><BR>The downtown hotels are a 15-20 minute ride from the airport and 45-50 minutes from Big Rapids. The highyway north to Big Rapids(US131) runs right through the downtown area.

It's been a few years...I went to college in GR (graduated six years ago) and here's what I remember.<BR><BR>There is a Crowne Plaza very close to the airport on 28th street. Actually, lots of hotels on 28th St (the main east/west drag in that part of town)--Comfort Inn (I've actually stayed there and it's adequate), Best Western, Red Roof Inn (I think). There's also another Holiday Inn and a Residence Inn at 28th St and the East Beltline.<BR><BR>If you call any of those hotels, you can tell them you're visiting Calvin College and they may be able to give you a discounted rate. See http://www.calvin.edu/resource/lodging.htm<BR><BR>If you want to be downtown, you can't go wrong at the Amway Grand.<BR><BR>I found this site<BR>http://grand-rapids-hotels.gothotel....mi_hotels.html which seems to list a lot of them. Like a previous poster said, you probably want any place with an address ending in SE.<BR><BR>Have fun!<BR>

I have stayed at the Amway Grand. Other than giving your money to ultra-conservative, right-winger Rich DeVos, it's a great place to stay.<BR><BR>Happy Trails,<BR>Paul<BR><BR>Be sure to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's, "Myer-May House." They have daily tours and it is quite the home.
